ID for some succulents?

11 years ago

I'm just wondering if you guys could help me ID some of my plants. The first 2 I vaguely know because they had labels on their pots when I purchased them, but I was not given the full Latin name. The rest are cuttings my Aunt gave me, and she has no clue what they are.

This is apparently a Euphorbia of some sort.

This is labeled as a Rebutia Cactus.

Now, onto the cuttings from my Aunt,

Note: The Aussie 5 cent piece is the same size as an American dime.

5) And this cactus.

Thanks,
Blue.

The first and last one are Euphorbia. E. lactea the first one? And last one, I think is an E. trigona. So, 5) is not a cactus but a succulent.

2) Callisia repens

4) Carpobrotus

I'm thinking of some Lampranthus for 1)...

# 5 actually isn't a cactus though they sometimes call it a false cactus. It's a Euphorbia trigona f. rubra

My mistake, 5 is indeed a Euphorbia trigona f. rubra, so it is a succulent and not a cactus.

The other Euphorbia, after scouring the internet for hours, I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that its a Euphorbia Greenwoodii, unless there are other Euphorbias that look like that.

Cristina, you certainly hit the nail on the head. 2 and 4 look about right (thanks to handy dandy google), but judging off of the images on google, 1 isn't a Lampranthus. Then again I'm new to succulents and have no idea what looks like what. I'm just looking at google.

Don't know what 1) is, it was just an idea. A kind of Aizoaceae.

I said "Lampranthus" because somebody gave me this cutting

It was very small and I didn't know what kind of plant it was, but finally it was a Lampranthus.

But yours looks different...

The first cutting from your Aunt reminds me of pig face/ ice plant. Is it a ground cover?

Tahneal, the 4th one is a pig face. The 1st one was rather tall, I want to say just over 30cm (12 inches) and it was like a little bush. A very skinny bush because her kids keep picking parts off of it, but a bush nonetheless.
